Gate integrates Kasplex Layer 2 with Kaspa and opens a direct bridge for users to navigate $what Migrate to an EVM-compatible DeFi environment.
Gate officially integrates Kasplex Layer 2 network, allowing users to move Kaspa’s native tokens $what Direct connection between the Kaspa Layer 1 chain and Kasplex L2 through an exchange. According to Gate, customers can now “transfer.” $what From Kaspa L1 to Kasplex L2 wallets,” the platform says, with this step it will “significantly” reduce barriers to entry while “strengthening asset circulation and on-chain interactions.” $what holder.
Kasplex is a Layer 2 solution built on Kaspa’s BlockDAG-based Layer 1 that uses a UTXO model like Bitcoin and is designed to add Ethereum-style smart contract functionality to networks that do not have a native contract layer. In its technical documentation, Kasplex describes itself as a “lightweight rollup solution based on Kaspa” that embeds EVM bytecode into Kaspa L1 transactions and executes them off-chain to update layer 2 state while using Kaspa for ordering and data availability.
In a post to X, the Kasplex team emphasized that the network uses bridges. $what Rather than introducing a separate L2 asset, it will be used as the only gas token to “maintain economic alignment and preserve value within the Kaspa ecosystem.” This project provides a two-way bridge for movement $what It says that deploying smart contracts between L1 and L2 is “as easy as redirecting an RPC endpoint” and aims to make it easy for developers familiar with EVM tools to launch applications on Kasplex.
Kasplex’s architecture is proposed as a way to unlock DeFi, NFTs, and other dApps on Kaspa by combining the base chain’s high-throughput BlockDAG design with EVM-compatible execution. By using Kaspa L1 for canonical transaction orders and data, Kasplex says its rollup-style design can support automated market makers, lending and borrowing markets, stablecoins, and other composable protocols that “cannot be achieved with primary chains alone.”
Kaspa itself has been one of the most actively traded mid-cap layer 1 tokens, with a live price of around $0.0345, a 24-hour trading range of around $0.0340 to $0.0353, and a recent 24-hour volume of nearly $26.4 million. According to CoinMarketCap data, Kaspa’s highest price is $0.2075. $what Currently trading more than 80% below its peak value, Gap supporters hope additional L2 utility will help it shrink over time.
A Kaspa community post positions Kasplex as a “huge milestone ahead of the impending mainnet” and highlights the growing momentum around node decentralization, liquidity pools, and wallet integration, including tutorials on bridging. $what Then add the L2 network to Kasware and MetaMask. By wiring Kasplex directly to the deposit and withdrawal rails, Gate is betting that the path to L2 will be smoother and yield more revenue. $what The move to smart contracts and further activity across Kaspa’s expanding DeFi stack.
